Honda reports fiscal second-quarter earnings on Wednesday and Toyota on Thursday. All three were helped by rising sales in the U.S., the Wall Street Journal reported, before Nissan released its earnings and cited North America as a key reason. Nissan’s fiscal first-half profit was up 37 percent to 325.6 billion yen ($2.7 billion).

“Nissan has delivered solid revenue growth and improved profitability in the first-half of the fiscal year, driven by encouraging demand for our vehicles in North America and a rebound in Western Europe, which compensated for market volatility elsewhere,”

Carlos Ghosn, Nissan’s president and CEO, said in the statement.

Toyota and Honda may do even better overall because they’ve performed better than Nissan, the Journal reported, adding that aside from strong U.S. sales, especially of sport utility vehicles, the weak yen is also helping.

Nissan, in a statement Monday, announced it was raising its forecast to 535 billion yen ($4.44 billion), from an earlier projected 485 billion yen ($4.02 billion). And Toyota could raise its full-year profit forecast, heading to a third straight record, the Journal reported. Toyota quarterly profit is expected to have risen 14 percent to 614 billion yen ($5.09 billion) while Honda’s is projected to have risen 7 percent to 129 billion yen ($1.07 billion).

Nissan’s operating profit margin for the quarter was 6.7 percent, below Ghosn’s 8 percent target for 2017. He indicated job cuts and other cost reduction measures would come if the target isn’t met,Automotive News reported Monday, citing a Tokyo Motor Show interview from last week. His other target is a 8 percent global market share by 2018.

The Smart Mobility City 2015 is an event running alongside the main Tokyo show this year that will be examining the relationship between automobiles, people and society and the role of personal mobility in the city of tomorrow. And it is where Toyota will be showcasing the progress it has made with its Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that enables cars to communicate with each other and with infrastructure elements such as traffic lights.

In other words, connected cars, an area where all automakers are busy developing solutions, but where Toyota is trying to establish an early lead.

By the end of 2015 it will have two cars the Crown and the Prius on sale in Japan that boast the technology and is aiming to roll ITS out to European and US customers by 2017.

Cars packed with radar, sensors and cameras can automatically stay in lane, maintain a safe speed from the vehicle in front and can even apply the brakes if a pedestrian steps out in front without looking as the latest high-tech safety features from the likes of Mercedes, Audi, BMW and, most recently Tesla, aptly demonstrate.

However, no set of cameras, no matter how smart, can see what’s coming around a bend or at a blind junction. Hence car-to-car communication. If all cars ‘talked’ to each other to say where they were, there would be no need to see around a bend in the first place.

That’s the concept behind car-to-car communication and its related car-to-infrastructure communication technologies and at the Smart Mobility City a specially adapted Prius will be demonstrating how these technologies can make approaching junctions, turning right into traffic and maintaining a safe distance simpler, safer and more intuitive.

In Japan alone, 40% of road traffic accidents are caused by a driver failing to notice vehicles or pedestrians at or near intersections.

The system can also help authorities better manage the road network. Knowing in real time how many cars are using a stretch of highway gives advanced warning of potential congestion while drivers can better conserve fuel by knowing if and when the traffic light is about to change from green to red.

The market for those cars is very important to car makers in the Country, where they gain for almost 40% of their whole sales. Body styles commonly range from sports and family cars to transporter vans.
The D-Base concept is mentioned to show the styling of the upcoming-generation Daihatsu Mira kei car, which is known in Japan as one of the most fuel-efficient cars. Daihatsu has Described the D-Base is a “proposal for a new small car” and is going to be shown “to express the spirit of modernization in the next generation of environment-friendly vehicles”.
To fulfill kei car requirements and regulations, it is 3.4 meters in length, 1.48 meters in width and 1.49 metres in height and powered by a 660cc three-cylinder powerful engine. Fuel efficiency, which is enlarged by reproductive braking, is surely said to be 94.1mpg on the Japanese test cycle.
Daihatsu is presenting three van concepts built to kei car regulations, called Hinata, Tempo and Noriori too. All are on the same front-drive platform and are built to Trunk the amount of space that can be found in such a compact vehicle.
The Hinata is assumed to be the nearest to production and replace the Daihatsu Move Conte that is sold in Japan as a micro-MPV. The production car is unexpectedly to have the concept’s dying way or Wasteful carpeted interior.
